The Wild Honey Piecommissioned me to design this poster for an upcoming show, featuring The Eastern Sea, at Cameo Gallery in Brooklyn, NY. I just started working with The Wild Honey Pie last week, so expect more pieces like this one in the future. ALSO - there isn't much I love more than the harmony of good music and good art together.

A few weeks ago, Britt Spencer was invited to set up a booth at Wizard World Atlanta. He was kind enough to let me join him, so we packed up some prints and headed to Atlanta.

Above are some of the prints I was selling at our booth. I created the "Science" proof to accompany Britt's book Journey by Starlight (a beautiful graphic novel & great read), which turned out the be the most popular item we sold!

Of all the bestiary that adorn the objets d’art of the ancient Near East, none has had so long, nor so eventful, a life as the ibex. First appearing on Samarran ware about 5500 BC, the ibex was among the earliest of the animal images to be seen on Near Eastern pottery. The ibex remained a popular symbol in Mesopotamian art possibly because of it's long, branch-like anters, resembling the Tree of Life - a symbol of fertility.

The ibex received a contemporary look for a new t-shirt collection I'm designing based on the symbols of ancient civilizations.

With a little help from printmaking expert Britt Spencer and his screen press, the ibex design was printed on multiple shirts, included mens' & women's styles. There's something particularily satisfying about wearing my own designs; I've already begun designing more to screen print.

In the past, I've had the pleasure of designing promotional art for one of my favorite bands, The Last Bison. I was so pleased when the band commissioned me once again to do the cover for their Christmas EP.

The main reason I love working with The Last Bison is that they always ask for designs that really challenge me as an illustrator. Every time I've created work for them, I always come out with a super complex illustration that I'm really proud of.

I love doing the artist swaps at Ten Paces & Draw. It reminds me of when I used to do them with my friends on DeviantArt. I was pretty young then, maybe 13 or 14, and most of my friends were older - they all seemed successful and talented, and I was just elated that they wanted to collaborate with me. So when the girls at Ten Paces told me that this swap was going to be a combination between working illustrators and students, I jumped onboard immediately. I love a bit of role reversal. Not only that, but the theme was pretty cute, too: we were asked to pick any random hashtag to base our sketches on.

The sketch I received was from MICA student Kate Seltzer, with the chosen hashtag of #bookporn. These swaps are all about having fun, and that is exactly what I did with Kate's sketch.

On the topic of books and porn, I've seen a lot of shirts over here in London that say "GEEK" and "NERD." These shirts are from Topshop, one of Britain's huge fashion retailers. Are nerds sexy now? I've always thought so.

Back with another update, brought to you by Ten Paces & Draw. Always a pleasure. This time, the artist swap was themed "Hand-Lettering." The sketch given to me featured a quote by Mitch Hedberg: A waffle is like a pancake with a syrup trap.

A few hours ago, I saw that Solestruck, one of my favorite online shoe warehouses, was having a contest. The premise was to draw your favorite Deandri shoe. Hey, I never turn down an opportunity to draw some killer shoes (especially if there's a chance I'll snag a free pair!) .

A month or so ago, I was invited to participate in one of my favorite blogs, Ten Paces and Draw. It's a wonderful blog because it gives illustrators an opportunity to work together in a really fun way! Ten Paces and Draw is known for its Artist Swaps, and they recently started featuring Mix Tape challenges, where illustrators create a piece based on a song. Loretta Lynn's "You Ain't Woman Enough to Take My Man" is the song I chose.

It's been a while, hasn't it? A lot has been going on down here in Savannah! In my last post I mentioned that I was applying for an illustrator/designer position at a company called Geneologie. May you can tell since I haven't posted in 2 months, but I got the job! Basically I create designs for apparel and other products. The company has a really lovely bohemian asthetic that's right up my alley. So far I've really enjoyed working for Geneologie and seeing my designs on shirts all over the country.

The June/July issue of Girl's Life magazine just came out on shelves. I haven't gotten a chance to pick it up yet, but I have three illustrations featured in this month's magazine. Super fun, summery illustrations, too!

Just finished a SUPER ULTRA FUN-TIME illustration. It is a design for a mock Alpha Phi event. Since I went to SCAD , I never really experienced Greek life. That is, until I went to visit my sweet little cousin at the University of Alabama. SO much fun, it was crazy to be exposed to probably the polar opposite of art school. Anyhow, those sorority gals have a t-shirt for EVERYTHING.

Lol. That title. Anyhow, I just finished an illustration about fun ways to exercise. This was one of those pieces where I couldn't step away from the Cintiq. I whipped up this super lively sketch last night and couldn't wait to take it to finish.

A product of recent internet hype, Lana Del Rey is currently one of the most quickly emerging artists. Her album "Born to Die," which has mixed reviews from critics, drops tomorrow. I'm interested to see the direction her career goes in. Will she fade back in obscurity, or will she continue to live up to the hype?

Here's a preview for a piece I recently completed for Girl's Life Magazine. Chun Kim, the art director, was awesome to work with. Can't wait to see the full illustration in the February/March issue! Y'all keep your eyes peeled for it.

i've been working on this one for a while, my tribute to the late CEO of Apple, Steve Jobs. in the end i went with the final image being black and white, which really just made the image stronger overall. cheers to Steve, the Saint of Gadgets!

Michele Bachmann as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (clockwise from bottom: Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, Herman Cain, Rick Perry, and Jon Huntsman), or as i like to call it: the Republican Madhouse. this was done for Square Carousel's "Fairy Tale with a Twist" challenge, and i just couldn't help myself. also, i did think i needed some more political figures in my portfolio. hello, New York Times?

the article is about how brides have been portrayed negatively in television in film lately, and how bridesmaids are the ones we seem to identify with. i got my copy in the mail last week - it looks great!
